Spam problem

I've been getting a flood of spam comments on my board in the last couple days. I disabled guest posting to stop them, but I'm still getting spam from unregistered users. I'm not sure how they're doing it or how to stop them. Help?

My board: http://arthur.crimsonkitty.net/oekaki/

Re: Spam problem

This is becoming an epidemic.  Several different Wacintaki boards have been affected by this problem, including mine.

There's an easy fix for fooling robots, so I'll try working on that.  In the meantime, do you happen to know if all the spam is coming from the same host/IP?

Re: Spam problem

Not sure if it matters but this has been happening ever since OP came out. I dont know why either. ^^; It's happening on a lot of regular oekaki poteto boards and wax boards too. (just as a note big_smile)

Re: Spam problem

80.237.232.194
216.12.200.106
59.144.126.238
219.93.174.101
194.90.18.25
61.142.212.46
211.97.224.98
209.242.11.179
218.56.32.230
218.75.87.37
196.40.43.78
125.100.183.250
202.194.210.9
82.114.69.131
219.241.82.93
200.122.153.250
211.212.1.128
211.153.44.155
61.100.179.66
59.186.63.66
203.131.168.19
59.21.83.38
148.235.86.114
211.38.254.174
59.20.77.155
219.140.165.91
211.141.77.194
200.87.19.124
222.101.251.75
221.151.203.153
69.143.38.187
59.25.20.208

The spam list does get a bit shorter every time I add new IPs to the list, so I guess they're starting to run out of addresses to send messages from. Or not.

Re: Spam problem

Wacintaki 1.3.1 has been released.  It offers a filter for this spam problem, and corrects member-only posting.

It appears to be related to a virus, though.  It's fairly common for virus-infected computers to be commandeered as mass spammers.
